2015 Charrette

In September 2015, the Continuum of Care convened a charrette on homelessness in Cambridge. This three-day community forum brought together diverse stakeholders including members of the public, provider agencies, and City departments to identify challenges around homelessness and work towards solutions. The charrette’s outcomes have been essential in informing the CoC’s ongoing efforts to plan a collective community response to homelessness. Below, the content from our mini-site publicizing the charrette is reproduced.

What is a “charrette”?

A charrette is a meeting in which all stakeholders in a project attempt to resolve conflicts and map solutions. Find out more from the Corporation for Supportive Housing here.

Anyone from across the Cambridge community who has a stake in the issue of homelessness is warmly invited to join the conversation and lend their voice.

You can come for as much or as little as you like: whether for just one session, or all three days!

Complimentary refreshments: Coffee offered throughout the day, pastries served beginning at 8:45 for the Welcome session, and popcorn bar from 2:30 to 3:00. Lunch not served but participants will have time to eat on their own.
